Training Day Two Hundred Eighty Four

Today I had the luxury of having a workout partner. Markus, a good old gym buddy that I got to know when I took my first steps into the world of strength training, was back in Båstad for the weekend. He's currently living in Trosa, so we're not really seeing each other that often. In any case, this meant that a few extra plates could be placed on the bar as we joined up for a chest and biceps workout.

# Workout Notes:
I decided to scrap the usual routine and go with the flow today. It didn't really mean that I deviated from the core of my training concept, it simply meant that I wasn't that picky about the exercises. And since the choice of exercises were free, naturally we went with the good old bench press. The workout in itself felt really good. I felt strong, motivated and up to my usual performance. A lot of this is due to having a training partner, as well as a spotter. This clearly helps to push through boundaries. Unfortunately I'm currently not anywhere near having a regular workout partner, seeing as I'm picky, and, in need of doing my training at specific time slots. In any case, it was an awesome workout and an absolute pleasure to meet up with Markus again!
